A woman deputies said impersonated a law officer to look for drugs in Spartanburg County last week was arrested last year for impersonating a Department of Social Services worker in order to steal pain pills in Greenville and Greer, according to police.

Christine Deyoung is charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer.

According to the incident report, Deyoung, 48, knocked on the door of a home on Waterwheel Street in Greer on Tuesday.

A man who lives at the home told deputies that when he answered the door, Deyoung identified herself as an undercover officer for the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office who was looking for narcotics in area homes.

The man told deputies that when he told her that he did not have any drugs in his home, the woman asked him if he knew of anyone in the neighborhood who might have prescription medication or narcotics.

The man said he directed her to another home whose residents have been in and out of the hospital. That's when the man said the woman left his home.

An incident report said Deyoung then went to another home and told the homeowner she worked for the Sheriff's Office. The report said Deyoung asked the homeowner if she could examine her prescription medication. The homeowner allowed Deyoung into the home and Deyoung told her she would give her a sign to put in the window that said "No narcotics in this house."

Authorities said one of the homeowners picked Deyoung out of a photo line-up and she was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center Monday morning.
